Excellent insulation and blackout

Yes, I recommend this

Love these curtains, perfect for a draughty Victorian house. Yes they are very thick but the ones I purchased were the longest length and unlike some reviews, I think they hang beautifully. Very pleased particularly as they were in the sale.

Excellent Curtains

Yes, I recommend this

Very good curtains, lovely fabric and as these are the ultra version super thick. I am sure they will be amazing during the winter months for keeping out any drafts. I love the sage colour.

Very pleased with my curtains quality ,fit colour. My 1 disappointment is they are VERy creased. I feel sure ROLLING the curtains before packing would minimise creasing.

Surprised!

Yes, I recommend this

I recently purchased these curtains to retain heat in the winter and keep out the heat from our pets in the summer. I was surprised how thick the material is. They feel like a summer duvet. The quality feels very good and the material seems hard wearing. As a very recent purchase I can't comment on performance but im very happy with them so far.

Gorgeous

Yes, I recommend this

Super soft and really lovely quality although the colour wasn’t the same in real life as it was in the picture (more of a rose pink than a blush in my opinion)

Ok curtains

Yes, I recommend this

Fabric is good but lining very thick and doesn’t hang well. Understand it is to prevent heat escaping but doesn’t look as good as some other linings.

Good for the price

O ordered these curtains as they are blackout and thermal. Therefore they re v v thick and for me not so attractive on the window. I found the colour was darker grey than the description (light).

Disappointing

I returned the pencil pleat curtains because a) the colour (champagne) suggests a light colour, as seen in the photographs, and the true colour is a dull beige/ oatmeal and b) the thick linings are bulky and I doubt that they will hang neatly, in folds.

Thicker than I expected.

Yes, I recommend this

Very pleased with these curtains as I needed warmth and 'blackout' but they would probably hang better as eyelet curtains than the pencil pleated version I purchased - sadly didn't realise this until I had gathered the first curtain making them non-returnable.

Soft colour & Very Impressive thermal/blackout

These curtains fit beautifully, the thermal layer is very thick, but soft and mailable unlike other brands I have had before.the finish is beautiful and matches our room and bedding perfectly.

Ok but could be better.

No, I don't recommend this

The good points to these curtains are they are thick, heavy and block out the light without a problem. The not so great points are the colour totally doesn’t match the pictures, thankfully I knew this from other reviews and took a punt on the champagne ones being darker. They are more of a light brown. The colour balance on the images requires some attention. They don’t pleat terribly well owing to the backing being heavier than the curtain material. What would have been handy was if M&S could just have samples of fabric for these available in store for online only items, at least it would save the majority of returns. They do the job but there is some disappointment with these overall.

Good quality

Yes, I recommend this

Very well made curtains. I was surprised to see how warm they are. I have a set of velvet ultra thermal and thought they were warm but this one is much warmer. I agree with other people reviews, the curtains are too thick to plate them nicely, they are creased and maybe the colour is a bit boring but if you don’t care about that and want to have something that will keep the draft from single glazing windows away then this is the product to go for. I’m very happy with the purchase.

Good quality, thick curtains.

Yes, I recommend this

The curtains are much thicker than I had anticipated so when drawn back they bunch up. However when drawn together they are fine. May be better to hang on a pole but that is not an option in our house.

Excellent insulation

Yes, I recommend this

While the range of colours is beyond boring, the insulation is spectacular and keep that cold at bay.
